li iscov'ering^Lewin Carroll:
Some' little' time after thepubl'ica-
tiou of "Alice's Adventures" we went
for one summer holiday to 'Whitby. We
were visiting friends, and my brother
and lister went to the hotel. They
satin oftor"asked us to dine with them
there at the table d'hote. I had on on6.
side of me a gentleman whom I did
not know, but as I had spent a good.
deal of time travelling in foreign coun-
tries, I always, e,t-onoe,nspeak to any-
one T am placed next. I found on this
oaasaelon I had a very agreeable neigh-
bor, 'and we :seemed to he much; in-
forested in the amore books, and' pole
ties also were touched on. . After din-
ner my slater and :brother rather took
me to task for tallcing ao, much to a
complete stranger. I said,' 'But it was
Matte a treat to -talk to him, and to
hoar him talk,. Of one thing 1' am quite
sure, he is a'genius." My brother' and
sister, who bad not heard himeSpeak,
again laughed at me, and eaid, "You
are far too easily pleased" I, 'how-
ever, 'maintained my padut ands ajd
what great delight his convereatiori
had given me, and how remarkably
clever it had been.
Next morning 'nurse took outour
two little twin daughters in front of
the sea: I went out a sbort'time after-
wards, looked for thrum, aid they were
listening to him open-mouthed, and in
the greatest state of enjoyment, with
hieknee covered with minute toys. I,
seeing their great delight, motioned
to him -to go on; "this he did for some
time. A most charming story he told
them about sea urchins'andAmmonites.•
When it was over, I said,
"You must be the author of `Alice's
Adventures,'"
He ,aughed, but looked astounded,
and said:
"My dear. Madam, my name is Hodg-
son,
odgson, and 'Alice's. Adventures' was writ-
ten by Lewis Carroll."
' I replied,
Then you must have borrowed the
name, for only he could have told a
story no you have just done."
After a little sparring he admitted
the fact, -and I went hone and proudly
told' my sister and brother how my
geniushad turned out a greater one
than I had expected. They assured
me I must be mistaken, and that, as 1
had suggested it to him, he had taken
advantage of the idea, and said he was
what I wanted him to be. A few days
alter some friends came to' Whitby
who knew hie aunts and confirmed the
truth of his abatement and thee I made
the acquaintance of one whose friend-
ship has been the source of great
pleasure for nearly thirty years.

How the Myth Originated.
As it has well been said of popular
proverbs, that they are,the wisdom of
many and the wit of one, so theological
and moral myths grew up to the point -
lar imagination, and were nursed there
till in happy season they received a
deiinite shape from some one repre-
sentative man, whose -inspiration led
him to express in a strildng form what
alt felt to be true and all were willing
to believe. ' The first framers of the
myth were, no doubt, perfectly aware
of the . , -. significance of these
imaginative pictures; but they were
aware as posts, not as analysts. It is
not, therefore, necessary to .suppose
that in framing' their legends they pro-
ceeded with the full Consciousness
which belonge to the framers of fables,
allegories, and parables.
During a certain early stage °a -na-
tional life, which cannot be accurately
defined, but which always precedes
a regular written literature, the
popular myth, like a tree or plant, be-
comes subject to a process of growth
and 'expansion, in the course ofwhich
it not only receives a rich embellish-
nient, but may be so transformed by
the Yield &don of a fertile imagina-
tion, and ey the ingrafting of new ele-
ments, that its original intention may
be altogether obseured'and forgotten.
How far this first significance may in.
after times be rightly apprehended de-
pends partly on the degree of its orfg-
inee obviousness, partly on the amount
of kindred culture possessed by the
persons to whom, it is addressed.
As of essentially popular origin and
growth the math cannot, in the proper
sense, be said to�have been the one.

century used to call the "machinery"
of his poems. In regard; to theological
myths, which are most deeply rooted
in the popular faith, such a poet as.
Homer could only. turn ,to the -best
account the materials existing, with
here and there a little embellishment:

"But the Marquis reminded .Fog -

details of the crime as he had carried

The Prefect of Police continued to
speak, slowly, without a change of
accent, as if to himself. a
"Monsieur le Marquis will remem-
ber the Apache's confession: he had
obtained a position in the building
and had watched the Martinis' apart-
ment. As it happened the night of
the robbery was not the first time that
the Marquis had left the door un-
closed in the afternoon. It was then
that this man. had gone in—taking
with him a slip of paper from the
basement—broke open the Marquise's
desk and searched for the combina-
tion, which he finally found and wrote
down. The search had required a
very long time, and he had not time
on' this 'day to open the safe. He had
taken the paper with him and waited
until this night on which the Marquis
had again gone out, leaving the door
unlatched.
"Then rte had opened the safe and
removed the necltlace. Ile thought
that in putting the necklace into his
pocket he must have pulled the slip
of paper, out, and by this' means it
had fallen to the floor where ,the Mfir-
quis had picked it up.
"The man made no defence and
waived all legal procedure. He sten
fessed and has been. sentenced to a
term of imprisonment. But he re-
fused to say what he had done with
the recklace.

PARIS SCHOOL WINS "MAKERS OF CANADA,"
It was no light task that faced the examiners when they be-
gan to read the hundreds of essays which poured in from scholars
of Public and Separate Schools, in all parts of Ontario and Quebec.
Finally, however, all were eliminated but the thirty-six which, in
the best judgment of the committee, were entitled to the awards.
The prizes are now in the hands of the various publishers through
whom the winning essays were sent, but the committee earnestly
suggests that wherever possible the. presentations be made at the
Empire Day Exercises in the schools.
To the Paris Public School goes the honor of winning the
most prizes, and Mr.. Featherstone,; proprietor of The Paris Tran-
script, will have the Pleasureofpresenting the set of "Makers of
